kvm: avoid page allocation failure in kvm_set_memory_region()

[ Upstream commit 744961341d472db6272ed9b42319a90f5a2aa7c4 ]

KVM guest can fail to startup with following trace on host:

qemu-system-x86: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x40d0
Call Trace:
  dump_stack+0x47/0x67

  kvm_set_memory_region+0x21/0x40 [kvm]
  kvm_vm_ioctl+0x43f/0x750 [kvm]

Failure happens when attempting to allocate pages for
'struct kvm_memslots', however it doesn't have to be
present in physically contiguous (kmalloc-ed) address
space, change allocation to kvm_kvzalloc() so that
it will be vmalloc-ed when its size is more then a page.
